PGA of America CEO Joe Steranka to leave at year's end

(palmbeachpost.com)
Joe Steranka, chief executive officer of PGA of America, will leave the position at the end of the year.

Steranka, who has been PGA's CEO for the past 6 1/2 years, informed his staff of his decision Tuesday after returning from the Masters in Augusta, Ga.

"I started at the PGA when I attended the 1988 Masters," Steranka said. "This was my 25th one, so I think the timing is appropriate."

Steranka started at the PGA of America in 1988 as director of communications and became CEO in November 2005.

"Let's not make a big deal about this," he said. "I'm still here for a while with work to do. We've grown the game at the grass-roots level over the years. I'm happy that a transition plan will be in place."
